Job Title: Threat Hunter


Big Bank Funding. FinTech Thinking.


Our technology teams in the UK work closely with HSBC’s global businesses to help design and build digital services that allow our millions of customers around the world, to bank quickly, simply and securely. We also run and manage our IT infrastructure, data centres and core banking systems that power the world’s leading international bank.

Our multi-disciplined teams include: DevOps engineers, IT architects, front and back end developers, infrastructure specialists, cyber experts, as well as project and programme managers.


Role Description:

Sitting within the Monitoring and Threat Detection sub-function, the ‘Cybersecurity Threat Hunter’ role is primarily charged with proactively searching through the HSBC global estate for evidence of malicious activities in our systems and on our networks and finding ways to illuminate behaviours that have managed to evade current defences. Rather than relying primarily on static indicators and reacting to automatic rules and alerts, the Threat Hunter uses a deep knowledge of internal defences, cyber-security expertise and the latest cyber-threat intelligence to develop hypotheses and anticipate how those attackers will seek to bypass existing controls to continuously improve our cyber-defences.


Responsibilities:

  • Hunting for malicious or anomalous activity across the enterprise, using the various cybersecurity tools, platforms and capabilities available. Acting in co-ordination with GCO staff to lead the development and implementation of an advanced analysis and search capability focused on identifying potentially sophisticated APT and insider threat activities within the organisation.
  • Leveraging a ‘cyber intelligence led approach’ to researching new and existing threat actors and associated tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs); developing a detailed understanding of their potential impact to the organisation, providing, developing and implementing recommended solutions for improving our defensive and detective capability.
  • Collaboration with Cybersecurity functions, e.g. Red Team, Cyber-threat Intelligence to develop hypotheses for the detection and/or presence of new attack techniques and evasion methods.
  • Coordinating threat hunting activities, leveraging intelligence from multiple internal and external sources.
  • Reviewing incident and penetration testing reports and corresponding logs, to identify gaps in our detection capability and provide recommendations to improve them.
  • Providing expert analytic investigative support on large scale and complex security incidents.
  • Contributing to the continued evolution of hunting, monitoring, detection, analysis and response capabilities and processes
  • Training, mentoring and inspiring colleagues across the function and strengthening Cybersecurity Operations capabilities.
Requirements
Essential Skillset/Experience:
  • Excellent investigative skills, instinctive and creative, with an ability to think like the enemy
  • Strong problem-solving and trouble-shooting skills
  • Deep knowledge of hacker culture
  • Developed external peer network for sharing intelligence
  • Excellent understanding of cyber security principles, global financial services business models, regional compliance regulations and laws.
  • Excellent understanding and knowledge of common industry cyber security frameworks, standards and methodologies, including; OWASP, ISO2700x series, PCI DSS, GLBA, EU data security and privacy acts, FFIEC guidelines, CIS and NIST standards.
  • Highest level of technical expertise in information security, including deep familiarity with relevant penetration and intrusion techniques and attack vectors
  • Expert level knowledge and demonstrated experience of common intelligence sharing platforms / protocols and experiencing operating within a collective defence environment with internal stakeholders and external partners.
  • Expert level knowledge of common enterprise technology infrastructure, platforms and tooling, including; Windows, Linux, infrastructure management and networking hardware.
